An Aunt that moved away from here 40 years ago made a visit this week and she started reminiscing about the various factories and businesses that used to be around here, as recently as 20 years ago we had all of the following:
Dawkins manufacturing house trailers
Rustler blue jean plant
Fruit of the loom
Garans childrens clothing plant
Three Cotton Gins
Fertilizer plant
rock crusher/asphalt plant
pulpwood yard
two large volume sawmills -- cross ties and hardwood lumber
Ford place
Chevrolet place
Three grocery stores
Big box store discount retailer
two feed and seed stores
Feed mill
Ice plant
Three hotel/motels
four restaurants
two hospitals
everything listed above is now gone or out of business except for one grocery store, one state subsidized first aid station/hospital and a couple of dollar stores and burger joints. I don"t see how areas like mine can ever rebound, when welfare and disability go broke it will be time to plant it all back to pine trees.
